My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge # 96

Echoing of keys
Locks, bolts, bars and naked light
Bulb swings acid bright
Only shadows deep within
Cloud the pain and hide the sin

The brevity and abruptness of your words make me think of the clanging and other sounds in a prison! Very well written.

Thanks Kim for this powerfully written and evocative response to the MLMM Photo Challenge.
Your Tanka seems to have captured an essence and ambiance as hinted at in the image – words sounding out – echoing in the metal …. really lovely.
Cheers~Pat
